A slow walk through the verse that gives this place its name.
Every good thing begins with a request. Asking is the courage to bring what you need to the One who can meet it, in prayer, in honesty, in hope. Like the first light over the water, it is where the day, and the answer, begins.
To seek is to keep looking when the horizon is wide and the answer is not yet in sight. It is a pursuit, a setting out. Those who search with a whole heart are promised they will find what they are looking for.
Knocking is perseverance, the patient, hopeful return to a door not yet open. And the promise is sure: to the one who keeps knocking, it will be opened. The light breaks through.
“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened.”Matthew 7:7
A little corner of calm, and a reminder of what is true.
Every morning is mercy. Whatever yesterday held, the light comes up again over the water.
Come to the shore and breathe. There is rest here for the weary and heavy-laden.
The promise of the verse is not maybe. To the one who asks, seeks, and knocks, the answer comes.
The first light of any morning is a question lifted up in hope. Stay in touch with us.
